Thanks for posting. I’ve been soldering wires for 50+ years but always good to see someone else or other tips like flattening the end of wire.
Thanks for the video David. I’m currently adding feeder wires to yet another “new” section of my ever expending layout. Its been awhile since I’ve had to do any wiring, so the tips are very timely. Just wondering if it would be helpful to tin the flattened end of the feeder wires prior to sliding them through the drilled holes in the roadbed?
